Clinical laboratory science professionals provide laboratory services required for analysis, quality work and reporting of the patient’s samples. These Technologists or Scientists, by performing a number of tests, identify the abnormality and inform the physicians to diagnose and give quick treatment to the patients. Such Critical procedures require strong background knowledge, analytical skills and the ability to work under pressure.
The programme and courses offered at clinical laboratory sciences put great emphasis on students acquiring these skills by a combination of informative sessions, group discussion, supervised training, competency assessments and clinical practicum in order to make student skillful at performing tests, analyses, interpretations and reporting.
Clinical Laboratory Scientists can set off their careers in medical and healthcare profession. Placements are also offered at scientific equipment companies, chemical and pharmaceutical companies. They can also contribute in educational sector as a faculty member or as a researcher.
The in-house training of CLS technologists includes observation and analysis of both manual and automated testing which involves immunoassays, Electrophoresis, Blood and urine culture, Blood Grouping and Cross matching, Coagulation testing, manual and automated cell counting. The in-house training enables the Student to master the operation of tools and equipment used while performing any test. These trainings start after every semester examination and the cycles continues till the final year of the undergraduate programme.
